How old are you?

Besides aren't things always made more dramatic in books and even in history than what they really were??

Let's be clear here, none of us are going to state invading other realms to start making a name for ourselves. They lived in a much different era when all you really had to do was have money and people looked up to you.

There's no real point in sitting around and seeing yourself as a loser because your life is different from what you aspired to be. And stop comparing yourself to people who are mythical, they wren't perfect and had a hell of a lot of flaws.

If becoming enlightened or an intellectual means I must become arrogant and coldly cynical about the world around me then I'd gladly remain a fool for the rest of my life!!
